What the e-Visa means
The Indian e-Visa allows you to enter India for short stays without visiting an embassy. You apply online and receive an electronic travel authorisation by email. Print a copy to carry with you. The visa is non-extendable and non-convertible to other visa types. It is valid for entry at designated airports and seaports only.
Before you travel and on arrival
Apply on the official e-Visa site at least a few days before your departure. You need a valid passport and a digital photo. Pay the fee online and wait for the authorisation email. On arrival at an Indian airport, proceed to the e-Visa counter. Your biometrics (fingerprints and photograph) are taken at immigration.
Arriving in India's big cities and travelling between them
You can enter India at 28 designated airports, including Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Hyderabad. Also at five major seaports: Mumbai, Chennai, Kochi, Mormugao and New Mangalore. From there you can travel anywhere in India by train, bus or domestic flight. Keep your passport and e-Visa copy with you at all times.
Staying longer, working or studying
The e-Visa is for short-term visits. If you plan to work, study, do research or stay longer than the e-Visa allows, you must apply for a regular visa at the Indian embassy in the Dominican Republic. Check the official site for the correct visa category. Overstaying your e-Visa can lead to fines and future travel restrictions.
